AVERTISSEMENT

WARNING

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result

in serious injury, death or property damage.

Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.

Use a commercially available soap solution made

specifically for the detection of leaks to check all

connections. A fire or explosion may result causing

property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

RISQUE D'INCENDIE OU D'EXPLOSION

Si les consignes de sécurité ne sont pas suivies à la lettre,

cela peut entraîner la mort, de graves blessures ou des

dommages matériels.

Ne jamais vérifier la présence de fuites de gaz au moyen

d'une flamme nue. Vérifier tous les raccords en utilisant

une solution savonneuse commerciale conçue

spécialement pour la détection de fuites. Un incendie ou

une explosion risque de se produire, ce qui peut entraîner

la mort, des blessures ou des dommages matériels.

If this furnace is to be installed in the same space with oth-

er gas appliances, such as a water heater, ensure there is

an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for

the other appliances. Refer to the latest edition of the Na-

tional Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA

B149.1-15 Installation Codes or applicable provisions of the

local building codes for determining the combustion air re-

quirements for the appliances.

Most homes will require outside air be supplied to the fur-

nace area by means of ventilation grilles or ducts connect-

ing directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors

such as attics or crawl spaces.

tirage, comme celui des hottes de cuisine et des salles de

bains, et les régler à la puissance maximale. Ne pas

mettre en marche les ventilateurs d'été.

6) Suivre les instructions d'allumage. Mettre en marche

l'appareil soumis à l'inspection. Régler le thermostat

de manière à ce que l'appareil fonctionne en continu.

7) Vérifier la présence de fuite au niveau de l'ouverture

du coupe-tirage des appareils qui en sont dotés après 5

minutes de fonctionnement du brûleur principal. Utiliser

la flamme d'une allumette ou d'une bougie.

8) Si un problème de ventilation est observé pendant

l'un des essais décrits ci-dessus, des correctifs doivent

être apportés au système de ventilation conformément

au National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou)

au Code d'installation du gaz naturel et du propane, CSA

B149.1.

9) Une fois qu'il a été déterminé que chaque appareil

raccordé au système de ventilation fonctionne

correctement au moyen des essais décrits ci-dessus,

les portes, les fenêtres, les ventilateurs, les registres

de foyer et tous les autres appareils de combustion

alimentés au gaz doivent être remis dans leur état

initial.

the furnace as possible, and only when the piping is sloped

enough to prevent condensation from collecting.

This furnace must not be connected to Type B, BW, or L

vent or vent connector, and must not be vented into mason-

ry chimney. A masonry chimney may be used as a chase or

passage way for approved venting materials providing the

masonry chimney is not also being used to vent products

of combustion. Never common vent this appliance with an-

other appliance. Never use a vent which is used by a solid

fuel appliance.

Piping may run vertically or horizontally and must be ade-

quately supported to prevent strain on joints, sagging, sepa-

ration, and detachment from the furnace. Horizontal runs of

cy by extracting heat from the products of combustion to

the point where condensation takes place. The condensate

must be collected in the furnace drain trap and routed to

an appropriate drain location in compliance with local and

national codes.

Follow the bullets listed below when installing the drain

concerning furnace drain trap installation and drain hose

hook ups.

• The drain trap supplied with the furnace must be

used.

• The drain trap must be primed at time of installation.

• The drain line between furnace and drain location

must meet local and nation codes.

• The drain line between furnace and drain location

     

toward the drain.

• Do not trap the drain line in any other location than

at the drain trap supplied with the furnace.

• If the drain line is routed through an area which

may see temperatures near or below freezing,

precautions must be taken to prevent condensate

from freezing within the drain line.

• If an air conditioning coil is installed with the furnace,

a common drain may be used. An open tee must be

installed in the drain line, near the cooling coil, to

relieve positive air pressure from the coil’s plenum.

This is necessary to prohibit any interference with

the function of the furnace’s drain trap.

All furnace models come with a factory installed drain trap.

For vertical installations, the trap will remain in the factory

horizontally require the trap to be relocated. Many drain

hoses have a built–in grommet which will provide a cabinet

seal when installed. See instructions below for your model

and installation position.

The trap and factory installed hoses remain as shipped.

The furnace drain may exit either the right or left side of the

furnace cabinet. Both sides of the cabinet have two .875”

diameter holes which can be used interchangeably for drain

and low voltage wiring purposes. If a higher drain exit is

needed, a .875” diameter hole may be added in the area

shown in Figure 22. Any unused cabinet opening must be

sealed. Do not allow drain hose to sag or trap water.
